Catalyzing the resistance to such tactics, for two years (December 1956 – December 1958) Fidel Castro's 26th of July Movement and other nationalist rebelling elements led an urban and rural-based guerrilla uprising against Batista's government, which culminated in his eventual defeat by rebels under the command of [[Che Guevara]] at the Battle of Santa Clara on New Year's Day 1959. Batista immediately fled the island with an amassed personal fortune to the Dominican Republic, where strongman and previous military ally [[Rafael Trujillo]] held power. Batista eventually found political asylum in [[António de Oliveira Salazar]]'s Portugal, where he first lived on the island of Madeira and then in Estoril, outside Lisbon. He was involved in business activities in Spain and was staying there in Guadalmina near Marbella at the time of his death from a heart attack on August 6, 1973.

~~== Trivia ==~~

* The irony of Batista is that he staged a coup to remove a dictator to put himself in power as a dictator and that [[Fidel Castro]] removes him and he becomes a dictator.
